Three years ago my three grandsons and I began a project together. We wanted to learn about interesting animals and how they might help us know God is real and God and science DO go together. At first we thought we might just write two or maybe three books, but when the project was completed we ended up with twelve books! Each book has at least twelve interesting animals in it - many of which we had never heard of before! We included full-color photos, fun, interesting, and even surprising facts about each animal, Bible verses, quotes from scientists, and activities to help children, teens, parents, and grandparents engage with what they were learning in fun and memorable ways. These books - the Life on the Goldilocks Planet series - are available to help families learn together how our amazing world shows us God is real and God and Science DO go together!
Many of the children we love enter middle or high school and start to learn about the things science is able to show us about the world in which we live. When these things do not seem to match with what they learned at home and church, many become confused and mistakenly think they are not able to believe in God and science - far, far too many of them are choosing to turn away from their faith to atheism.
This does not have to continue to happen. If we help them learn how God and science DO go together and how the world around us helps us see God is real - and do this from the time they are young, we will help them develop a confident faith which will give them something to hold tightly to throughout their lives! The Life on the Goldilocks Planet series of books will help you do this. With winter upon us, consider getting some of the books to use with the children you love. If you do, your winter will be filled with learning, important conversations, and fun! You will find the books on Amazon and at this link. Please share this post with the parents and grandparents you know. (And, the answer to the question in the photo is - the Nautilus! These amazing creatures also have up to 90 tentacles!)
